Brownie Scouts
We offer two 2-hour programs for Brownie Scouts. Bit 'N Bridle and I Love Horses. Bit 'N Bridle is a Try-it for Brownie Scouts from the Girl Scouts of Southern Alabama Council.
We designed I Love Horses when there was no horse Try-it. Both sessions include a mini riding lesson as well as hands-on learning about horses.
